Tuesday 23rd June 2026 - With the temperature ready to rise todays activities had to take place at somewhere with ample shade and Queen Marys Woodland provided just that.
Having a fair sized contingent of volunteers and splitting them evenly, as one division undertook the grassland condition assessments in the Wood pasture area followed by the adjacent site of Wellfield South the other division set about re-installing and bolstering the dead hedging which joins the Wellfield South gate and a spot of weeding and Bramble pushing back along the central ride and various glades.
Sunday 21st June - It was back to the coolness of the woods again this month as the Sunday Team assembled in Roundshaw Woods.
Clearing bramble from tree whips planted in the winter was the order of the morning, along with mulching and a splash of water for the more parched looking.

Thursday 18th June 2026 - A dull looking morning swiftly ceded to bright sunshine for todays turnout of volunteers who carried out activities on both Richmond Green and Beddington Park.
With the surveyors detachment of the squad carrying out the condition assessments in the tall grass area and the wet meadow at Beddington Park the remaining team back at Richmond Green spent their time weeding out amongst others Docks, Thistles and Green Alkanet that have emerged on the turfed up grassland following the Riverbank works.
Tuesday 16th June 2026 - A new volunteer added to a slightly smaller Tuesday squad working under the sunny skies of Roundshaw Downs today.
As the surveying team carried out the full 20 stops of the grassland condition assessments, one survey each for the North and South cattle paddocks, the rest of the team got to grips with weeding of the two adjacent Butterfly Banks and the adding of some hopefully longer lasting notifications on the paddock gates to the importance of keeping dogs on leads whilst traversing these features that prove a haven for ground nesting birds such as Skylarks.
